PAST: Italics

Thoughts: '' Italics ''

'' You're Majesties '', A Blond haired knight said as he entered the Merikan throne room, kneeling down onto one knee before the royals of Merika.

Although clearly in a depressed state the normally lively throne room was still decorated in shades of blues and whites. Three thrones, all made of ivory and adorn with brilliant jewels and intricate designs in the colors of the kingdom stood on a platform of marble at the very end of the room on it's northern side. Portrait of past rulers decorated the other walls.

In the middle was a large throne draped in a crushed velvet of a deep blue, in which sat an older looking man known as King Samuel. To his right a smaller throne draped in white silk sat his wife, Queen Justine. To their left a slightly smaller throne draped in satin of baby blues was empty of a certain honey blond prince.

When Ludwig saw this, worry made it's way into him. '' Where was Prince Alfred? '', he thought. As he toke in the depressed atmosphere of the court.

Looking up from his position of mourning King Samuel noticed Ludwig.

'' Ludwig, it's nice to see you. '', The normally lively king said with little emotion in his voice. Worry edged it's way onto the normally stotic knights features.

The knight sensing something was terribly wrong with the Kingdom asked the King what had happened.

'' Are Alfred is missing '', Queen Justine shouted out before bursting into tears.

Learning of Alfred's disappearence struck the knight like an arrow to the heart.

While trying to console his wife. King Samuel asked the knight were he had been for the past two weeks.

He told the king all of what had happened to him. The strange voice that sounded like Alfred and lead him outside of the castle, the battle with the ice-spirit and the kind people that had saved him from the river and helped heal his wounds.

Upon hearing this King Samuel believed more so that his son's disapperance wasn't just some random event. But a kidnapping done by some power hungry Kingdom trying to use his child against him in order to gain an upper hand.

His Queen on the other hand believed even more that it was a certain green eyed man's doing.

'' You are dismissed '', King Samuel said with a wave of his hand as Ludwig returned to the soilder barracks.

King Samuel made his way to his war room with his council. As they made plans in preparation of war any country tried to declare on them.

While Queen Justine sat alone on her throne thinking of ways of how she could get her baby back from the sorcerer king. Finally making up her mind. The Merikan Queen made her way to the soilder barracks.

Ludwig made his way to the soilder barracks. Settling himself into his bed he thought of where Alfred could be.
He was intterupted by the thoughts when a knock came from his door.

Opening his door he was surprised to see Queen Justine. '' What was she doing here? '', he thought.

'' Ludwig, as Alfred's personal Guard. It's your duty to protect him and take care of him.'', she told him as she walked. '' And Ludwig I know you care for him.'' she added, sitting herself down on a nearby chair .

At this Ludwig sputtered, face turning red.

'' Ludwig, there's no need to denie it. I know you love Alfred and I support it'', Justine said with a slight smile.

'' w-when did you know? '', He stuttered.

'' Since the first time you two met. '', she said with a far off look.

PAST

Laughter was heard as a small child in a silken powder blue dress and white shoes ran through a garden chasing a butterfly.

'' Alfred, dear come here for a moment. '', Queen Justine called to the child.

The boy a small golden blond named Alfred turned towards the women. Running up to her with a smile.

'' what is it mama? '', Alfred asked in a sweet voice that just melted the queen's heart.

'' I have someone you should meet. '' Justine told him.

Stepping aside, the woman revealed a young boy around nine years old with light blond hair and light blue eyes.

'' Alfred, this is Ludwig. He's going to be trained as a knight. Please be nice and show him around. '', Justine told her son with a small smile.

Alfred smiled. Running up to the other boy he hugged him. starling the blond. Before grabbing his hand and running off. Rambling about all the things and people in the castle.

Justine merely laughed as she watched the two.

She watched as Alfred showed Ludwig the different plants in the garden explaining what they were in great detail and gestures. Clearly happy to have someone his age around.

While the light haired blond blushed when ever the honey blond turned his attention towards him.

END OF PAST

'' You two were so cute together. '', Justine said coming out of her past musings before looking towards Ludwig with a look of utmost seriousness.

'' Ludwig I only ask you of this because I trust you and I know you love him more than anything and will do anything to protect him. '', She told him. Looking him straight in the eyes.

'' What is it you need to me to do? '', He asked her.

'' To rescue Alfred. '', Justine told him.

'' To rescue Alfred? , but no one know's where he is! '', the blond said trying not to yell.

'' I do. '' She responded.

'' what! Where is he? '', the blond said disbelief in his voice.

With a sigh the Queen of Merika told the knight the story of how she had visited the desolate chain's king, the potion that would allow her a child, the promise with the sorcerer she had made, his visit to get Alfred when he had turned three, and his vow to make Alfred his bride, no matter what.

'' No one can know of this. If my Sam found out he'd never forgive me. So Please will you rescue Alfred from that man.'' Justine begged near tears.

The knight listened to the Queen's story silent through out the whole thing. Upon the queen's request he vowed to her he would rescue Alfred no matter what or how long it would take.

With the queen's blessing. Ludwig set out for the desolate chain intent on getting his beloved back from the green eyed sorcerer.
